Chelsea are claimed to be moving a step closer to resolving Romelu Lukaku’s future.
The striker returned to Stamford Bridge as the club’s record signing in 2021 but a controversial Sky Italia interview and a frustrating eight league goals led the Blues to loan him back to Inter Milan last season. Lukaku scored 14 goals and provided seven assists in his second spell with the Italian side, who finished third, won the Coppa Italia and reached the Champions League final.
Inter are keen to sign the Belgian for a third time but have already seen their opening offer rejected. Chelsea are said to be targeting a resolution before they set off for their USA pre-season tour net week and there could be promising signs on the horizon.
